HOBBY LOBBY MAY CLOSE ITS DOORS - Thank you Obamacare Idiots !!!!!!

Let me add to my previous post. You guys don't like government regulations.
So Hobby Lobby can say they don't want to cover birth control, and that is fine. Then where do you draw the line. Good for Hobby Lobby. But what a precidence.\
Now your wife gets a rare cancer... you insurance company can just say, we don't cover that kind of cancer, no government regulations, so what are you gonna do? Sell your house and everything you own?
Sometimes regulation is a good thing, it is the reason why we don't allow your local oil change place to dump used oil in the ditch out back, it is the reason restaurants have to wash the dishes, it is the reason trucking companies have to keep safe tires on their trucks, it is the reason your grocery store doesn't wash old chicken in bleach and repackage it with a new date.
They want to be an insurance company, they need to play by the rules put in place for insurance companies.

They are not following their religion when it makes demands on them. Hypocrites.

And it's clear people like you have no clue to history in the US in relation to religion and governmental regulations. Start with Native Americans and the Sun Dance. Look it up. Moron.

I've never, ever called someone this, but you are a definitely a paid

Let me get this straight. First of all they are self-insured. That choice puts them under the regulation regarding insurance companies. If I remember correctly, their problem was the government was saying they had to cover birth control as an insurance company. They claim it goes against their Christian beliefs.
So instead of switching their model and buying outside insurance, they decide to go out of business?

The fact that they have to cover birth control is going to put them out of business?

LOL, if that is the case, they have other problems. And they are just happy to blame their demise on the government.
Give me a break.

You may as well have said, "That's what you get when you try to establish a business that will last with ideologies and principles that have lasted for over 5000 years."

Another GLP moron who doesn't like facts....

And all because the executives and CEO can't bear to give up any of that profit.

They can let the worker bees starve, be sick or go on unemployment, but heaven forfend that the 1% in the company have to suffer the potential loss of speed boat or private island.

*world tiniest violin*

Good the place sucks

Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO

By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn't much bigger than most people's living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God's word. From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation's largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We're Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I've always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God's laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that's what we've tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our
stores closed on Sundays, one of the week's biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God's grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and
our employees. We've not only added jobs in a weak economy, we've raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government healthcare mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don't pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don't cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes
against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that's raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It's not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it's the same for everybody. But that's not true. The government has exempted thousands of
companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won't exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby and my family are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don't like to go running into court,
but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that's a choice no American and no American business should have to make. The government cannot force you to
follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not excempt Christian organizations including the Catholic church.

Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely,
David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

I have a friend who works there. He started out part time and was making $8 something an hour, then after about a year or two, they promoted him to full time and raised his rate to $12 something an hour. He also told me a few months ago that everyone in the store got a dollar raise, even new hires. I was like wow, I think I should go apply there. They really are a great company.
